LUCKNOW, India (Reuters) - As Sushil Kumar Srivastava s breathlessness worsened, his family bundled the 70-year-old into a car and drove him to a hospital in the capital of India s northern Uttar Pradesh state, where he tested positive for the coronavirus.
After the private hospital turned the retired government official away because it didn t have any vacant beds, his son Ashish brought two oxygen cylinders and drove his father on a hunt for a hospital that could admit him.

After the private hospital turned the retired government official away because it didn t have any vacant beds, his son Ashish bought two oxygen cylinders and drove his father on a hunt for a hospital that could admit him. All the hospitals asked for a referral letter from the chief medical officer s (CMO) office, Ashish said, referring to the top healthcare official of the city of some 3.5 million people.
